1577 Can You Knock-Off On Time?

If Long Yu Corporation had not been the best choice in the list of companies that Boss Pei had given him, Min Jingchao would not have come at all.

Long Yu Corporation might not lack outstanding mid-level leaders like Jin Yong and a few other person-in-charge, but the problems with the high-level leaders were very troublesome.

A stupid leader was more dangerous than a hundred stupid employees!

If he met stupid employees, he could teach them slowly as long as they were willing to listen. They would produce fine work when they were slow.

However, it would be difficult if he met a stupid leader!

Stupid leaders were usually very arrogant and would not easily listen to their subordinates' opinions and suggestions.

Sometimes, he would even get angry and fire the person who raised the suggestion!

Min Jingchao did not like Boss Ding from Long Yu Corporation, but since he was here, he had to eliminate all obstacles and settle this matter!

Even if Boss Ding wanted to cause some trouble, he had to suppress him!

…

…

May 14th, Tuesday.

There was still more than five minutes to the working hours. There was a long line at the entrance of Long Yu Corporation.

"Aiya, why did you cancel the flexible working day? You'll kill me if you wake up early!"

"I only slept at three in the morning. I had to struggle to get up early in the morning!"

"The key is that we arrived early. Can we really knock off on time tonight?"

"I think so!"

"The new Great Master Min has a good intention, but can he really carry it out? The entire company has been working and resting according to this for so many years. How can it be changed just like that!"

"I think it shouldn't be a problem to torture our employees. The key is that we'll knock off so early. Would the big bosses agree?"

Everyone was whispering as they queued up. Obviously, waking up too early made them still have some morning air.

Long Yu Corporation originally had a flexible working system. They could clock in from 9 AM to 11 AM.

Of course, he would have to make up for it with time if he were to clock in the morning.

The original intention of this work schedule was good. It took full care of the habits of some young employees who liked to sleep in and make the employees more free in the work schedule.

However, the problem was that the working system changed drastically with overtime.

Many people had to work until 10 PM because of frequent overtime!

It was already very late after work. It was very easy to not wake up until one or two in the morning if he were to do his own things.

The working hours in the morning became 11 noon.

However, he was late in the morning and had to make up for it at night. Thus, he naturally worked overtime until very late.

When the entire department had such working hours, no one would cooperate with them if they came early in the morning. If they left early in the night, others would look for them to cooperate with them, but they were not around. That would delay their work!

What's more, it was also the peak period for big bosses and department heads to inspect after work. The flexible working employees would work late and knock off late. Naturally, it would give people the impression that they were working hard overtime.

As for those employees who went to work early and knocked off early, even though they worked for the same period of time, they were unknowingly deducted.

As time went by, most employees would adjust to working at 11 AM and knock off after 10 PM.

To the employees, it was not a problem for them to wake up early and work before 9 AM. It was just to set an alarm.

However, the problem was that if he had to work at nine but could not get off work smoothly at six, he still had to work overtime until eight or nine at night. That would really not be as flexible as working!

After all, he could still take a nap with the flexible working system!

The chatter of the check-in team was interrupted by Min Jingchao's appearance. He walked leisurely and stood behind the line.

The team members walked very quickly. When it was Min Jingchao's turn, he swiped his card lightly and was stuck at 9 AM.

Those behind him were naturally late.

Min Jingchao smiled slightly. Obviously, many people had not adapted to the essence of lagging.

However, it did not matter. They would adapt soon.

He calmly went to the snack area to get some snacks and coffee before walking slowly to his desk.

The few brothers behind Min Jingchao rubbed their sleepy eyes and whispered. "Good lord, this click is too punctual!"

"This big brother from Tengda is a gradually moving time line. It's stuck at nine!"

"Sigh, do you think he came to Long Yu Corporation to retire? He looks like a snacks and a coffee addict. He doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all!"

"What are you talking about? He's the chief designer of GOG. The projects he's working on are projects that we would never dare to think about! He's also Boss Pei's outstanding student! Would such a person come to our company to slack? What do you think our company is?"

The few of them quickly went to their desks and yawned as they slowly began their work for the day.

His so-called job was to open his email inbox for five minutes, play with his cell phone for half an hour, and scan Weibo and webpages.

However, they were lazy and were quickly interrupted by the sound of Min Jingchao typing on the keyboard.

Min Jingchao was focused on writing the document quickly. His expression was extremely serious. He would take a sip of coffee from time to time.

Everyone in the office stared at Min Jingchao and discussed.

"Good lord, how did you achieve that in one second?"

"Are you sure he's writing a document in his current state and not chatting?"

"I think this typing speed is more like bickering with netizens online."

"What are you talking about? I saw his desktop. He's indeed writing a work document!"

In Long Yu Corporation, people in charge like Jin Yong had independent offices. Thus, no one knew what Jin Yong was doing or what everyone was doing.

Min Jingchao's arrival interrupted the traditional model. He arranged for himself and Jin Yong's work desks to be in the middle of the entire work area with the ordinary employees.

That way, many employees would be able to see Min Jingchao's computer screen!

This behavior was fundamentally different from other bosses.

Some bosses would also arrange their work desks with their employees, but they would be at the back.

This was actually to make it easier for him to supervise the work of the employees. He could clearly see who was slacking from the last row.

However, the boss was in the back row. He could do whatever he wanted. The employees could not see him.

This feeling should be the same as when he was in school, hiding at the back door to monitor the entire class.

It would be nice if he could be the boss, but it would be different if he was the employee.

However, Min Jingchao did not do that. He was not afraid that other employees would see what he was doing. He even hoped that they would see it!

Min Jingchao entered the working state so quickly and worked so efficiently, making many employees who were slacking feel guilty.

If he took the lead, the people below would feel uneasy even if they were to slack.

What's more, there was drastic changes to the organisation as the new boss came onboard!

Most people did not think that Min Jingchao would bring drastic changes to the entire Long Yu Corporation, but they still had some expectations.

Thus, they quickly closed the webpage, kept their cell phones, and began their own work.

…

At 6 PM sharp.

Many people subconsciously took out their cell phones and began to scan various takeaways.

"How can we eat tonight? Are we still eating Fish-Catching Take-Out's work meals?"

"I'm getting tired of eating every day. Should I take a look at the take-out?"

"No way, boycott take-out! Why don't we go out and eat?"

"Sigh, time's up. Quick, check in."

Many people realized that it was time to knock off when they saw everyone get up to check in.

Most people did not have this concept at all. That was because they had never worked directly. Why bother to remember the afternoon off?

Many people had subconsciously adjusted the working hours to 10 at night.

Everyone instinctively walked towards the office to continue working overtime according to their habits.

He had only taken two steps when Min Jingchao stopped him. "Where are you going?"

The person who was stopped was confused. "Go back to your desk!"

Min Jingchao asked again, "Why are you back at your desk?"

The person who was stopped was even more confused. "Order take-out with your cell phone…"

Min Jingchao asked again, "Why do you want take-out?"

The person who was stopped hesitated for a moment and answered subconsciously. "That's because I'm hungry. Also, the food in the company canteen is not very delicious!"

Min Jingchao shook his head helplessly. "Is there a problem with my expression ability or your understanding?"

"What I mean is that it's time to knock off. Shouldn't you go home for dinner?"

The other employees who were checking in and preparing to return to their desks were stunned when they heard Min Jingchao's words.

Was he really going to knock off?

I thought it was just a formality!

Most employees felt that even if they got off work on time at six, they should at least have dinner and pretend to work overtime before leaving, right?

It was a blessing to be able to get home from work at 8 PM!

In the end, Min Jingchao stopped them at the check-in area and chased them out!

"Go back and take your cell phone. Hurry up and leave! I'll keep an eye on this place. Whoever dares to sit down at the work desk, I'll take down their little notebooks!"

Everyone exchanged confused looks.

Since the leader did not allow him to work overtime… he had no choice but to reluctantly not work overtime!

"Alright, we'll knock off now. See you, Brother Min!"

Everyone suppressed the joy in their hearts and simply packed their things and walked out.

He was afraid that he might have heard wrongly or Min Jingchao might have made a mistake!

In any case, Min Jingchao had said that everyone would knock off on time no matter what work there was!

Min Jingchao would be there even if the sky collapsed, let alone delay the progress of work. Wouldn't he quickly slip away?

Min Jingchao was really standing at the door, waiting to see who was still there. He would chase them away one by one until they turned off their computers and stood up.

The elevator in Long Yu Corporation was usually empty at this time because everyone was working overtime. Few people could really knock off on time.

However, Min Jingchao chased out all the operations employees who had cooperated with him today. The elevator door was filled.

Ding! The elevator door opened.

Everyone was just about to squeeze into the elevator when they realized that something was amiss.

That was because the person who walked out of the elevator was the big boss of Long Yu Corporation, Boss Ding!

It looked like Boss Ding had just returned from outside and was about to return to the office to work overtime when he encountered this wave of knock-offs.

Boss Ding could not help but be stunned when he saw everyone surrounding the elevator door. Then, he looked angry. "Which department are you from?"

Everyone exchanged confused looks, not daring to speak.

Seeing that no one was replying, Boss Ding became even angrier. He asked, "Who is the person-in-charge of your department?"

Everyone had not thought about how to answer when they heard someone say loudly from behind, "It's me! Does Boss Ding have any questions?"

The crowd parted to allow Boss Ding to see Min Jingchao looking at him with a smile.

"This…" Min Jingchao's smile looked like a mother's, making Boss Ding a little confused.

If the other party was someone else, even if he was a Vice-President, Boss Ding would definitely scold him!

What time did he knock off?

As one of the upper echelons of the company, Boss Ding was back to work overtime at this time. How could they have the cheek to knock off?

However, the other party was Min Jingchao. Boss Ding's anger was immediately extinguished.

He could not afford to offend this person!

Boss Ding cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over for himself. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. What I mean is to treat everyone to a meal before leaving."

Min Jingchao said indifferently, "It's a good thing to treat everyone to a meal, but you have to clock out and leave the work area."

Boss Ding nodded awkwardly. "Yes… yes."

Min Jingchao's neither soft nor hard attitude made him not know how to perform. He could only go straight to his office.

He had only taken two steps when he heard Min Jingchao's voice chasing after him. "Boss Ding, I advise you to knock off as soon as possible. If you don't knock off in time, it means that there's a problem with your work efficiency!"

The corners of Boss Ding's mouth twitched slightly, and his face darkened.

However, he chose to bear with it for the time being. He pretended to be calm as he entered the office and closed the door.

Min Jingchao sneered in his heart and said to everyone who were still waiting for the elevator, "What are you still looking at? Hurry up and leave!"
